Tristan and his wives enter the dining room. The way he acts when seeing Mikayla is a sign that he completely accept Mikayla into the family. The long horizontal table is for Tristan and his wives to sits. The others will sit with their family on the three vertical tables. Alaric, Grandpa Gregory and Grandma Silvia sit with Mikayla in front.
"Tonight we have a new family member joining us that is Mikayla. Some of us probably did not notice this but Mikayla is not a human but a Wing. He may smell like a human that is because he was raised by a human. Like a chick imprint the first person, they see as their parent. I hope everyone can get along with Mikayla" said Tristan.
"The Wing Tribe are on the decline and solve this crisis by marrying other races. As far I know mostly they marry human races than other races. Their child usually born as a human, probably Mikayla is one of them," said Dylan while swirling juice in his glass.
"Don't tell me that he receives heritage. Depending on heritage to awaken his bloodline is kinda similar with the lower class of vampire. Slightly better than human magician. Hahahaha" said Justin mockingly.
"Mikayla indeed receives a heritage..." said Alaric before he is interrupted.
"Ah! I heard he actually receive fallen heritage," said Que with one hand on his chin and another hand are on the table.
Gasps can be heard. The family members start to discuss it with a low voice. Tristan did not stop them. This is count as a test. If Alaric's unable to stand for Mikayla then Mikayla's life in The Blade family will be hard.
Seeing the gloat on his family member aka enemy, Alaric stands up and release some pressure. He is now showing his authorities as to the holder of Duke title. He probably stays low for a long time that they forgot how he got the Duke title from them. Alaric is one of the outstanding child in The Blade family but not the strongest. Alaric is a tactical person, he knows how to use his power efficiently and defeat the strongest child in the family to achieve the Duke title. Alaric also knows how to exploits enemy weakness and turn it into his advantage. This makes many of his competitors fear him and will not mess around with him. Furthermore his father Gregory is one of the strongest in the vampire continent.
"I did not know where you found all this information but let me explain. First, regarding receiving heritage. Mikayla indeed receives a fallen heritage." said Alaric.
"Hah! I'm right. Fallen heritage inheritor after awakening they will become crazy and mad. Did you want to destroy our family?" said Que.
"I didn't finish yet. Even though Mikayla receive fallen heritage, Mikayla, able to stay sane and even integrates with the heritage making it as his own power. Second..." He sees Justin want to interrupt him and he exerts stronger pressure "Mikayla origin is unknown because he is only adopted by the human that receive heritage. Anyone that doubts Mikayla, you did not have to worry, Grandfather himself has confirmed that Mikayla is harmless and will not be affected by the fallen heritage."
Hearing that Tristan himself has guaranteed that Mikayla is harmless most of the family member relaxed but some of them clench their fist in anger.
"Who knows when he is going to explode into madness at that time who is going to be responsible?" said Dylan in low voice but all of them have the great hearing ability and able to hear it.
"When that times come, I myself will take action. I'm will be responsible. Is that enough?" said Tristan. All of them can feel the pressure from him. Their bloodline telling them to submit. Dylan body stiffens as the pressure falls onto him.
"I understand grandfather," said Dylan. Tristan retracts his pressure and the dinner continue as usual without any discussion regarding Mikayla. At least they will not talk about it in front of Tristan. Dylan eats with dissatisfaction and he will casually look towards Alaric.
After the dinner, Mikayla goes directly into his room to check on the twins. The twins already eat and now playing with the maid. Seeing them playing happily, all the stress inside his body melted and he feels relaxed. He then goes and hugs the twins.
The twins are happy to see Mikayla. Well, Stella goes towards Rinne after the hugs. "Rinne, take good care of her. Sob..sob," said Mikayla.
Rinne sits beside Mikayla and hold Stella. Mikayla sits with Luna and he starts singing.
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands. (While holding Luna's tiny hand and clap together)
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
Stella notice that Mikayla is playing and singing, she wants Mikayla to play with her too. She has shown a conflicted face between Mikayla or her handsome prince charming Rinne. Mikayla continues playing with Luna. Rinne laughs a bit and hold Stella's hand to follow the song.
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet. (Mikayla lift Luna a bit)
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet ( and make him stand as a gesture of stamping)
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it,
stamp your feet.
If you're happy and you know it, fly high. (Mikayla lift Luna high above his head)
If you're happy and you know it, fly high.
If you're happy and you know it,
And you really want to show it,
If you're happy and you know it,
fly high.
Luna and Stella really love this song and it is proven with their laughter echo in the room.
"It's lively here, may I join?" said Tristan. Behind him is Alaric and Grandpa Gregory. Grandma Silvia also tags along to see Mikayla and the twins.
"Mikayla is the guardian for this Wing twins," said Alaric.
"Oh! Is that so. I do not only have a new grandson but also great-grandchildren. Hahaha," said Tristan with mirth in his eyes. He directly goes to the twins and pats their head. Luna is hiding in Mikayla embrace and Stella is curious to see Tristan. "Mikayla, can I talk with you a bit?"
Mikayla hands over Luna to the maid and follow Tristan and the others to the balcony and sit on the chair. He saw Gregory make a protective barrier and a soundproof barrier. But on the outside, it looks like they are just having a nice chat together.
"Mikayla, welcome into our family," said Tristan.
"Thank you, sir," said Mikayla.
"Great grandfather," said Tristan. The others just smile hearing this.
"Yes, great grandfather," said Mikayla with a smile on his face. He can sense that Tristan is a good man.
"I just want to remind you about the banquet tomorrow," said Tristan.
"Tomorrow the people that come to the banquet are all from the upper-class society. They might behave like your brothers in the dining room before but on a higher scale," said Gregory.
"Those people will try many things to provoke you. It is fun for them to see our family humiliated," said Tristan.
"Don't worry, I will always be with you tomorrow," said Alaric.
"But we have to do something with the human smell on your body," said Silvia.
"Ah! Thank you for everything. All of you are so nice to me," said Mikayla, thinking that there still a good family like his first parents in his previous life.
"No need to thanks us. We are family," said Tristan.
The discussion turns into casual chat and Mikayla gets to know more about the Blade family. After the chat, Silvia brings Mikayla into a special room. Inside that room, it is filled with a lot of roses.
"You will stay in this room until the banquet tomorrow night. Make sure only drink and bath the water that is provided. This is only a temporary measure to get rid of your human smell. By the time the human smell from your body will gradually disappear," said Silvia.
"Thank you, grandma," said Mikayla. Silvia exits the room leaving Mikayla and Rinne.
"It's already at four o'clock in the morning. Did you want to get some sleep?" said Rinne.
"Yes, please. Many things happen tonight," said Mikayla.
"Then, I will prepare your bath," said Rinne.
Entering the bathroom. (No wonder grandma said that to only bath with water that is provided. It filled with roses.) Mikayla slowly enters the bathtub and enjoy his rose bath.
After the bath, Mikayla goes to sleep. Rinne turns off the light and goes to watch the twins. They are not allowed to be in the same room with Mikayla tonight.
In the dark study. Tristan, Gregory, Alaric and Silvia are kneeling down towards a man. The man silhouette is hidden behind the curtain but they can feel the pressure he emitted.
"Take good care of Mikayla. I promise him to take good care of his child."
